[The Noble Prize--is it still up-to-date (author's transl)].
Alfred Nobel was an original personality: inventor, cosmopolitan, pacifist. Concern for the future and belief in scientific progress provided the motive for the foundation of the Prize which, in our time, is one of the most coveted of honours. But times have changed and closer consideration shows that the award today neither corresponds to Nobel's intentions nor does it take into account the circumstances of modern sciences. These developments could not have been foreseen at the turn of the century. Attempts to actualize the Foundation meet growing criticism.

[The cell 100 years ago].
Eduard Strasburgers monograph "On Cell Formation and Cell Division" appeared in Jena in 1875. At that time the existence of the cell nucleus was established, but the scientists were still discussing a possibility of free formation of cells as suggested by Schwann and Schleiden. Nuclear structure and the processes of mitosis were still uninvestigated. The original observations which are reproduced show the first tentative efforts at a generalised description. Comparison with the opinions of Haeckel and Flemming show the uncertainty of cytology in that early phase, because the lack of microscopic technique did not yet permit of any detailed evidence.
